Some help, please

Not the best photos, but I was wondering if anyone could identify two different birds.

This small bird hangs out in my roses and the rosemary. During the Spring they build a nest in the Bluebird nesting box I keep on the patio table. They are very quick, and flit about, endlessly. These are the best photos I'm been able to get of them.

This small bird has a golden chest and I've seen him on my morning walks. The other morning the ravens were really harassing him. I'm not a "birder", by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think it's a hawk. When he flies, his wings are not full, like a hawks.

If you haven't fallen over laughing at me, and if you have any idea of the identity of these tow birds, please let me know.
